ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO Socioeconomic considerations Total population: 2 Millions (+ approx. 250.000 equiv. permanently living tourists = 12 Million per year!!)) 7 islands with different dimensions and features (total area: 7.500 km2) Significant economic development in the last 15 years, GDP based on tertiary sector (tourism)

Energy Total external energy dependence Constant (significant) increase of energy demand Electricity generation based on fossil fuels (oil), relatively small power stations) (5) insular electrical systems, very difficult to interconnect (volcanic origin of the islands) Low heating energy demand, decentralized heat production 2

ENERGY CONTEXT OF THE CANARIAN ARCHIPELAGO Recent entry in force of national legislation concerning insular and extrapeninsular eletrical systems, and entry of the system operator (Red Eléctrica de España) Will to diversify energy sources (combined cycle power plants already installed, waiting for LNG introduction) Historical lack of water resources and big experience in the search of artificial water production systems (desalination market began in the 60’s) - Importance of the water-energy binomial Important weight of the transport sector

Renewable Energies Excellent potentials (particularly wind and sun), but still low contribution to the energy balance Still lack of information, at all levels, about energy saving technologies, demand management and RE Very favourable normative framework for RE deployment (National Royal Decree 436/2004 and future Building Technical Code) Existence of qualified research groups and technology centres with know-how in this field 3

LEGAL FRAMEWORK - ENERGY PLANNING Energy Plan of the Canary Islands (PECAN 2006) Motivation Changes in the energy sector: Liberalization of electrical and hydrocarbon sectors Development of RE technologies Introduction of new electricity generation technologies: combined cycles Increasing concern about quality and guarantee of energy supply

Increasing environmental concern: Need to promote energy efficiency and saving Commitment to Kyoto Protocol Minimization of environmental effects of energy and energy installations

15

LEGAL FRAMEWORK - ENERGY PLANNING

PECAN 2006 PRINCIPLES 1. To guarantee energy supply 2. To reduce energy consumption and its environmental impact 3. To promote RE use

OBJECTIVES Improvement of storage security Improvement of service quality Competitive energy prices Reduction of CO2 Emissions Reduction of energy intensity Promotion of energy saving and cogeneration Reduction of the environmental impact of energy installations Increase in the contribution of Renewable Energies 16

Objectives related to energy saving, environmental protection and RE promotion Reduction of CO2 emissions

Reduction energy intensity and promotion of energy saving and cogeneration

•Introduction of natural gas in order to partially replace oil use - The necessary installations will be available in 2007 for Gran Canaria and in 2009 for Tenerife

•Dissemination campaigns and actions aimed at reducing energy consumption in public buildings, trasnport, housings and public lighting •Incentives to cogeneration by means of a stability guarantee of the fuel purchase price •Measures in order to achieve 800 MW wind power in 2012

Increase of RE contribution

17

•Flexible financing program for solar thermal systems (275.000 m2 in 2012) •Program for promotion of Solar PV in public buildings of the Canary Islands Regional Government (1 MWp/year in the short term)
